Default Cheapest price for sending small parcels UK

I currently use RM mailmark 2nd class @ £2.64

Hermes 2-5 delivery (tracked) is £1.99 ex VAT which is considerably cheaper and is definitely worth considering when dealing with small margins.

Do business accounts get this cost down much more? I was told 150+ parcels per week is the criteria for such account.

Does anyone know Hermes successful delivery rate? I’ve heard it’s pretty poor however I have no experience,

Are there any better options?

Honestly, sounds like your doing a decent job already, as I think your using a franking machine for the mentioned RM prices. Dont know what your selling, but could you vaccum pack them for any smaller dimensions. letterbox size.

Don't ever use my Hermes . If item is lost there is no way you will get you're money back. There comp exclusion list is everything except a piece of paper. Stems go missing all the time . Delivery drivers don't give a short. Damaged. Don't use them. Royal mail all the way.
